3I, ATLAS and Interstellar Object

The 3I/ATLAS comet was first spotted in July near Jupiter after it entered our solar system from another universe. Here’s what’s known about it and what we’ve learned so far.
I/ATLAS was first discovered on July 1, 2025, by the ATLAS telescope system in Hawaii. Its hyperbolic orbit, a trajectory not bound by the Suns gravity, soon confirmed its status as an interstellar object.
Believe it or not, there is currently an international space safety emergency protocol in effect across the entire planet. The news has been somewhat lost in
Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has baffled NASA and astronomers after it changed colour to 'distinctly bluer than the Sun' and showed signs of non-gravitational acceleration.

3I/Atlas may hold traces of water, NASA says - scientists call it a possible clue to life beyond Earth
NASA scientists have detected traces of water on the mysterious interstellar object 3I/Atlas, sparking new discussions about the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe.
Renowned physicist Michio Kaku predicts astronomers may soon determine if interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is natural or artificial. By late October 2025, its solar encounter could reveal unusual energy gains,
Loeb, though, has another explanation. In his latest blog on the interstellar object, Loeb posits that the anti-tail could show an alien craft applying “braking thrust” — slamming on the brakes, essentially, as it seeks to prolong its sojourn through our star system.
